Precautions of cross -border sub -skook management

There are some precautions in operating the cross -border sub -skop service.

Perform market research

Due to different cultures in Japan and overseas, because products are popular in Japan, there is no demand overseas.

Therefore, be sure to conduct a market survey and know if there is a demand for the products you want to sell.

By grasping the growth and size of the local market, you can determine the prospect of sales and the appropriate time to start providing.

It is also important to examine the entry status and sales of competitors.

If it is difficult to obtain information, on -site surveys are also effective.

Investigate local trends and conduct a questionnaire to the target audience to understand more detailed customer needs.

FDA authentication

It is an institution that is the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan.

If you export and sell the target products without obtaining FDA certification to the United States, you may not only be able to seize and prohibit the product, but also receive a criminal complaint. Don't forget to obtain FDA authentication and prove that it is an appropriate product that does not violate the Pharmaceutical Machinery Law or the Food Sanitation Law.

FDA authentication items include food, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and radiation release devices.

In order to sell foods and beverages, the following procedures are required.


• Registration of manufacturing facilities

 • Designation of American agent 

• Display and English translation of product labels 

• Formulation of food safety plan 

• Preliminary notification


If the certificate of authentication is difficult, use the FDA authentication application service.

Response to ADA

ADA (Americans with Disabouties Act) is a law to protect Americans with disabilities.

Corporate websites are treated the same as public facilities, so if you are not specified by the disabled person, you may be sued by users.

Preparation for cross -border sub -school management

Here, we will explain what is necessary for the operation of the cross -border subscriber. Understand the following preparations and proceed with internal adjustments smoothly.

Product preparation

Decide what kind of product to provide by referring to the needs and tastes of overseas users.

Not only secure the stock of the product, but also check what the product is treated under local law.

Understanding local laws, regulations, and business customs

Carefully check local laws and regulations so that you do not violate serious violations.

It is especially important to note that laws and regulations are frequently revised in China.

In addition, you can avoid troubles by checking in advance of local working style and manners of transactions.

Marketing strategy planning

The cross -border subscd is less costly than opening a store, but it will fail if you do not make a firm marketing strategy.

Be careful about how to use users, differentiation from competitors and prices.

It is also important to hire human resources who are familiar with the local area and create services that match local culture.

Decision of sales platform

If you provide a cross -border subscriber, you need to decide on a platform to sell.

The first is to launch your own site.

You can freely customize design and functions to launch a website yourself. Another advantage is that there is no sales fee.

On the other hand, it is difficult for users to flow in to launch a new site, and it takes time to monetize.

In addition, it is necessary to perform all foreign languages ​​and currency settings in -house. The second is to use mall -type EC sites such as "Amazon" and "Rakuten Ichiba". Because the site itself has a high awareness, it can be expected to have a large customer effect.

In addition, depending on the site, it will support functions such as foreign language support and currency setting.

However, the design is difficult to create uniqueness, and it costs costs such as store opening costs and sales commissions.

Understand each feature and choose a platform suitable for services and marketing strategies.
